The Weakerthans "The Reasons"

Uploader: BVMHardcorePunkTV
Video Description: Formed after Propagandhi member John K. Samson got the itch to perform and record again after taking a sabbatical to write and start a publishing company, the Winnipeg-based Weakerthans took Samson's music in a completely different direction. Propagandhi had been known for powerful, speedy punk and overtly political lyrics, but the Weakerthans went down a more melodic and introspective path. Consisting of Red Fisher drummer Jason Tait and bassist John Sutton, the Weakerthans took their name from a line from the film adaptation of Marguerite Duras' The Lover: "Go ahead, I'm weaker than you can possibly imagine." The band prided itself on its high standards, both as political beings (shying away from large label or distribution contracts because of their connection to exploitation) and in their personal lives (promoting vegetarianism) and received critical praise for their debut album, Fallow, which was issued in 1998 on a co-operative label, G7 & Welcoming Records.

Thanks, I'm the main actor I was just adding the video to my favourites and found your comment so I thought I'd say thank you. I'm a dancer from Toronto. You might have seen me in dance performances around town if you are from TO. People always tell me that I look familiar. You can look for me in another video called "so Pure" by Allanis Morisette. I have another video on You Tube where I met Madonna check it out on my favourites.

Oh cool!
I'm from Kingston, so it's quite possible I've seen some of your performances, but at the same time, you almost have the kind of face that's familiar without being seen before, you know?
Anyways I'll go look into those videos. Nice to talk to you!
